Mrs. DR. .Vanderhule has just COM
pleted a painting for the Grand Army
fair to be held next week, that will
prove a very valuable addition to the
art treasures that are to be exhibited at
that time. The painting is historical,
representing a band Of revolutionary
patriots at the famous battle of Bunker
Hill, and Its admirable execution will go
far toward establishing Mrs. Wander
hule's reputation as an artist OF fine abili-
ty, and the Grand Army boys will have
no difficulty in disposlng of it for a
small! fortune. Mrs Vanderhnle is now
engaged upon on elaborate painting of
Yankton which promises sto become O
gem.
A large audience assembled at tie
Congregational church last night, and
the best attention possible was paid to
the concert by the Alpine choir and
Tyrole company. After the entertain
meut was over there was an unsatisfed
look on many faces, while the features
of others displayed hearty appreciation.
The Americans who were present could
not grasp the German dialect and COD
sequently Frau Haupt's English selec-
tlons were hugely enjoyed. The instru-
mental portion OF the entertain ment
was excellent, and 1t may be said that
the warblers are thoroughly acquainted
with the either, guitar, and Alpine
viola. The costumes worn by the COM
pany were unique and attractive and the
picture of the "Switzer' at home was
duly appreciated. The company APP
pears in Sioux Falls tonight.
A prairie fire which was decidedly
damaging as it was, but might have been
the g Of q loss to many farmers,
originated just north of this city yester-
day afternoon and with a high wind
blowing from the south at the time, it
burned nosthward &C rapidly that only
good horses could keep pace with it.
In thessJencks corn field, nea Stones
farm. mea we're engaged in burning corn
stalks, and from this fire the prairie
grass caught. In a short time the en-
tire nei9hborhood was out with fire
fighting weapons o; every description
protecting property from the flames.
The fire threatened q. E. Brooks, VIM.
Box and the fair grounds with total
destruction, and in its northward march
it entirely destroyed the north fence OF
Van Tsssel & Liyingston's live stock
yards. By the most strenuous efforts
the fire was finally stopped at the wide
road which leads from the cemetery
down to the Brooks farm. The fire was
nearly eighty rods wide, and was 80 hot
that q near approach was dangerous.
